University Boulevard repaving commences in Jacksonville

Wed, Feb 12, 2014 @ 3:20 pm

A $2.6 million project to resurface University Boulevard between Interstate 95 and Beach Boulevard has been started by the Florida Department of Transportation.

The project includes drainage improvements, new traffic signals, sidewalk repairs and driveway reconstruction. Construction crews will work with residents and businesses to maintain access, while lane closures and detours are being coordinated with Memorial Hospital of Jacksonville to minimize impacts to traffic there.

The contractor will have lane closures from 7 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. weeknights, plus ramp closures at the I-95/University Boulevard interchange between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. on up to five nights a week throughout the project. Detours will be posted during ramp closures.
